Convert GPKG to SHP

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert GPKG to SHP?
Yes - GPKG converts to SHP.

Export GeoPackage feature layers to Esri Shapefile in QGIS (right-click layer > Export > Save Features As > ESRI Shapefile) or with ogr2ogr. Note Shapefile's limits (2 GB, 10-char field names, one geometry type per file) lose some GeoPackage richness.
